Hi Jeff, do you mean front and back or left and right. I pushed right and left and nothing happened

left and right on the sides of the device is what worked for me

@geno60 @jeff23r It's nice to see you in the Fitbit Community. Thank you for sharing insights on how to pause or end a workout. 

Just wanted to share instructions on how to do it: 

1. On your tracker, open the Exercise app   and swipe to find an exercise.
2. Tap the exercise to choose it. If GPS is available, an icon appears at the top as your device tries to connect.
3. Tap the play icon   to start, or swipe up to set an exercise goal. If you set a goal, press the buttons to go back and tap the play icon 
4. Tap the middle of the screen to scroll through your real-time stats.
5. To pause or end your workout, press the buttons. To resume, tap the play icon 
6. Press the buttons again, and tap Finish to end the workout.
7. Swipe up to see your workout summary.
8. Press the buttons to close the summary screen.
9. To see your GPS data, sync your tracker and tap the Exercise tile 

   in the Fitbit app.

Have a great week.

Appreciate your instructions. Unfortunately they aren't detailed enuf to actually help. "Open "exercise app". How? On phone? On fitbit devise? What exactly do we do? Press both side buttons in device 1x? 2x? Scroll on device up or down? How exactly do we pause an exercise? How exactly after device is dark do we open it and finish exercise? I can not believe that a company is allowed to produce a product with no usable customer instructions.  Don't get me started about the poor user interface for the app. So very disappointed. The device may eventually get set up to work, but not worth it.

@Gudmama I think your Fitbit Inspire 2's side buttons are sometimes unresponsive. It happened to me too, when my hands were sweaty and the side buttons didn't work for a few minutes. And yes, frustratingly, there is no way there can be an exercise running in the background. You can swipe DOWN though to check time, calories burnt, etc., etc.

When I push the button all that happens is the water lock goes one  never see button to finish?  Any suggestions?
